- Dutch Man City midfielder has just..........

[Scottlarock 12]

.....reserved a room/suite in a Norfolk hotel for two days and intimated it could be for a bit longer too. This is a fact. I''m not a rumour geezer.

[Herman 11,136]

Who?

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424]

Interesting - especially as Manchester City don''t have any Dutch midfielders.

[CiderkiddCanary 0]

Only person I could imagine it could be is Karim Rekik. He''s not a midfielder, but could be good cover for central defence? Presuming he can get out of his loan to PSV Eindhoven of course.

[flying high up in the sky! 1]

The last dutch midfielder for man city was de Jong. He joined ac Milan in summer.

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424]

Maybe a confusion of nationality and it''s Abdisalam Ibrahim - very promising Norwegian midfielder who has been told he can leave Man City this January. Would be very pleased if it is him.

Also, we know Henning Berg was scouting for Norwich and he''d certainly know about Ibrahim.

I think there may be something in this, I saw a car parked at a funny angle inWaterworks Rd.

[/quote]Or perhaps wrong Manchester club. Alexander Buttner perhaps? or perhaps it is total BS.

[GJP 79]

Could be David Silva.

 

Pretty sure he''s Dutch.

[William Darby 0]

Steven Jovetic can play midfield

..I''ve just checked and this might be the case - the person isn''t too good on geography and names of countries it now seems :-) 100% a Man City player/booking though. I also don''t know the name either so I''ve no idea if it''s Ibrahim.

[City 2nd 193]

A disclaim Ibrahim is on loan from Man City at Stromsgodet.

[Waveney Canary 0]

I never believe these rumours to be true until they are seen in harford bridge Tesco

[City 2nd 193]

Abdisalam Ibrahim even.

Expected to be joining a French club (possibly St Etienne) on a free transfer in the window.

Also reported that Arsenal, Everton and Celtic are front runners!

Holland sounds bit like Spain & with a Spanish accent Manchester Citeh sounds like Chelski.

It''s Juan Mata!

[Kirkstall Yellow 0]

Yeah!! rumour time!!

I''m in leeds and i heard we are going to sign their entire squad in exchange for Becchio!

[whoareyou? 0]

Boyata?

NO! I MEANT THIS^^

[York Canary 29]

It''s Leroy Fer

[York Canary 29]

Here you go ladies. This is the latest I could find on Ibrahim and what he had to say:

 

"I''m hoping my future is sorted out in the coming few weeks," Ibrahim told Sky Sports.

"I wanted to sign for a Premier League club but it looks like I could be going abroad as I am getting better proposals.

I just want to play regular football for a coach who will also develop me and improve my game.

I''m 22-years-old now, it''s not time for me to be just training and not having to be looking forward to a game on a Saturday."

 

Sounds plausible. I like this bit..

 

Ibrahim, whose playing style has been likened to Patrick Vieira and Yaya Toure, has recently returned to City after a successful spell on loan at Stromsgodset who he helped win the championship.

[pete_norw 0]

Your all wrong its Mata from Chelski and he''s not Dutch either

[Nicko 0]

But we''ve already got Leroy Fer as our supposed Toure/Viera player. Could be Boyata I guess.

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Why have one Toure/Vieira player when you can have two! I''ve long been hoping for a Tettey/ Fer midfield partnership and maybe this could be similar! Given his lack of experience but excellent pedigree, he''ll either be very good or very poor. I''d take the gamble at the mooted price.

No idea whether it''s true.

I think it''s more a case of this thread is the source of information for that story - and considering I mentioned Ibrahim as a pure guess there isn''t much to this ''story''.

A two bob joke of a website that usually regurgitates stuff found on here - don''t get too excited

[pete 372]

The standard of humour on here is still poor I don''t know why anyone tries to keep us posters informed even maybe spurious info.

[Tetteys Jig 851]

So the website is a bad link, but the original rumour from an unreliable source on here still stands. I guess we''ll wait and see. You can guarantee we''ll be working on deals though.

[chrisr1606 19]

We''ve been linked with him before in the Sun (yeah I know it''s only the Sun!) and Hughton does seem to revisit the same target if he doesn''t get them first time. There could be something in it.
